Errrm read what I said, I was underwhelmed with the August event not the S23 event!!

The Exynos is trash and everyone knows it! Go on Twitter and see how many people actually say that they want Samsung to stick with Snapdragon.
Please tell me how many people in the world are currently using the new Exynos chip LOL like 0 as its not released yet

Idle speculation at its best :rolleyes: ......... move on

People don’t like it, It’s based on perceptions from previous Exynos which were trash!! Exynos versions were worse performing and worse battery life than the Snapdragon, that is well known.

Oh and I see you never corrected your mistake about me mentioning the August event 🙄. Just stop engaging with me if you think it’s a problem, we clearly don’t agree on anything.

How many times do you want me and others to correct you

You got the pricing wrong, speculating on a chip not released and now you disliked the Samsung event content but not the products, but implied otherwise

This is getting dull Dave this is not a question of opposing opinions you are factually incorrect, speculating and playing with implied semantics :rolleyes:

Errrm no I didn’t get pricing wrong, the S23 Ultra on Samsungs website (UK) is £1,249 the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max is £1,199 therefore it’s cheaper!! If you start adding things up like discounts for Blue Light Card holders, Buds and so on then yes of course, that is disingenuous when I’m talking about the phone itself. This year there has been a price reduction on the iPhone anyway!!

Chip speculation? News flash it’s the internet and this is a forum, of course there will be speculation 🙄 also most will agree that they want Snapdragon and not Exynos.

Errrm once again read my actual comment that said about the AUGUST event, I thought it was underwhelming!! A fold that hadn’t changed much from previous generations, same with the Tab S9!! I never mentioned anything about the S23 event, that is your mistake but instead of owning up to it you’re trying to twist it around on me!!

You don’t need to engage with me at all, if you can’t at least own up to the mistakes you made instead of twisting it 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you guys keep arguing in this thread, you're going to make me switch to an iPhone.

Resist the urge and stay with your S23 Ultra, you seem to enjoy it more.

I’m not arguing I was just stating facts, Exynos has always been trash and no one wants it. Im sure most would agree that it’s inferior.

Anyway I’m done with that, my only point when I posted in the thread was that Apples event was underwhelming, I didn’t mean to start everyone else agreeing 🤣

At the end of the day I appreciate both Samsung and Apple, neither are perfect but everyone has their own preferences.

Dave this is just rhetoric and back peddling and not what you implied originally and you know that

I suggest you clarify your points in future to avoid comments

Enough said on this

Read the actual bit where I said AUGUST event 🙄

You are in the wrong here!! The august event was underwhelming and that’s what I implied, you just don’t want to admit you’re wrong!

Don’t be so condescending. In that same sentence I can say I suggest you read people’s actual messages before replying 🙄

Yes enough, either apologise and own it OR just ignore me please!

You two, move away from whatever devices you are using, go get a cold beer, relax and return in 30 minutes. Maybe try another thread for a change of scenery for an hour or so :D

A beer isn’t a bad idea, well a Guinness I'm more partial to drinking.

Maybe the S24 thread 🤣🤣
 
Question. If I download and install the beta, when the official release comes out, what happens? Do I start getting official releases again?
 
I'm extremely impressed with it! I'm using it as my daily driver, every day I find something new, not had anything go wrong with it etc. It's very slick indeed.

Between the s23ultra hardware and oneui6, when both phones are sitting on my desk, I keep grabbing for the s23ultra for the speed, the pen which i use more than I expected to, the camera app and all those wonderful options etc.

still don't like how samsung wants me to buy into their apple-a-like ecosystem with all the duplicate apps, I really wish they'd just allow everything to be google.

but yeah, brilliant device, brilliant update, can't really believe I'm fanboying over an android on the evening of an apple keynote!
Do iPhones come with pre-loaded apps or do they allow everything to be Google? Remind me...
 
They could lower the 15 Pro Max (13 Pro Max S, S) to $999 for the 1 TB version here in the US and I wouldn't buy. Holding the 14 Pro Max and hoping for more with the 16 series. I still like the 14 Pro Max for when I want to use an iPhone but it's hard to fit it in my rotation with the S23U and Pixel Fold right now.
🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Preorder entered.
Had to give my 14 Pro Max to my wife. Her phone went for a swim in the lake last night. It’s still down there. My good buddy is a diver so he’s going to go down and look for it today. It’s in about 10-12 foot of water. She does have Apple care but not with theft or loss option. If he recovers it I’ll cancel the order. If not I’ll have a 15 PM 😂
